As experts in coins, here at Exclusive Coins we are experts in a wide
variety of different coins, both buying and selling. So, with this in mind we
have put together some of the £1 coins that you should be checking your wallet
or savings pot for.

What makes a coin
rare?

A coin is deemed as rare when it is removed from circulation. In fact
it is thought that as many as 650 million coins out there are now classed as
rare, which means that you can find that they sell for a rather impressive
amount of money.

The rarest £1 coins

Lion Rampant

This 1994 Scottish coin is not going to break the bank if you decide
to sell it on, but it is known to make as much as £3 when put up for sale.

Belfast City

A rarer coin, yet one that is much more modern is this 2013 coin from
Northern Ireland. Those who are lucky enough to find one of these in their
pockets could make as much as £30 off of this single coin!

Cardiff City

A 2001 Welsh coin, this is the second rarest coin that you can own.
The trouble with this particular coin comes with the condition. Whilst an
immaculate example can make as much as £30, those that are not in great
condition may only make around £5.

London City

Much like the welsh Cardiff City coin, this 2010 London version has a
price that depends on condition. Again seeing as much as £30 for perfect coins,
and £5 for less than pristine ones.

Thistle and
Bluebell

Taking two of the most iconic images from Scotland, this 2014 coin
features both a Thistle and a Bluebell. This coin can make as much as £10 if
you decide to sell it on.

Crowned Shield

Whilst it may be one of the oldest coins on the list, the 1988 Crowned
Shield is not one of the biggest sellers. However, it can make as much as £6!

Daffodil &
Leek

Another Welsh coin, this 2013 £1 is a great coin to find in your collection.
It can sell for as much as £15 if it is in excellent condition.

Rose & Oak

There is starting to be a pattern in the amount that a £1 coin can
attract, and that is the condition. Another coin that relies heavily on the
condition is the 2013 UK Rose and Oak version. A beautiful version can make
£15, but for those that have been a little more weathered, £3 will have to do.

Millennium Bridge

Another icon from the city, this 2007 English coin can make you around
£3 if you do decide to sell it on!

Flax and Shamrock

If you own a Flax & Shamrock
Northern Irish coin, then, you may want to consider selling it on. This 2014 £1
has been seen to make as much as £34 when sold on, making it the ideal seller
from your collection.

Flax

Another member from the Flax
family, this twice released (1986 and 1991) Northern Ireland coin could be
worth as much as £17.

The Edinburgh City

Thought to be the rarest coin with
only 935,000 in circulation, The Edinburgh City 2011 £1 coin has proven to be a
popular seller, making as much as £34!
